ODEA, Kotagiri
First things first, this isn't a regular restaurant with a standard menu. It's a private clubhouse and restaurant which can cater to your needs ONLY on prior booking/ notice. The experience at ODEA was just awesome. The atmosphere is so serene and peaceful. You can just watch the nature and feed the koi fishes and relax. The staff are very courteous and friendly. They are local people who are fluent only with the local languages. Food is simple but tasty. They don't serve you a variety of cuisine but the food is really good and fresh. We tasted the chicken curry which is authentic to the Nilgiris and it was really good. It's a great place to relax and spend time with family and friends.
